MP tells ministers to go and meet victims of 'callous' bed tax
Ministers would get a "rude awakening" if they opened their eyes to the impact of their ideology

A Welsh Labour MP backing bedroom tax appeals told Con-Dem ministers yesterday to get out of Westminster and meet the people suffering under their "idiotic" policy.

Huw Irranca-Davies said ministers would get a "rude awakening" if they opened their eyes to the impact of their ideology.

"Tory and Lib Dem ministers ought to get out of their offices and ministerial cars, leave their special advisers behind and meet with real people who can tell them what it's like to live with this callous and cruel policy," he said.
